That's a very nice demonstration! I'm coming from a Japanese swordsmanship background and I've felt how such sword forms can bring together two people studying the same style, even though they might know nothing of each other. They're an excellent social bridge in addition to their obvious martial worth. I've been encouraged to look into Dall'Agocchie thanks to your work and since you're doing the part of the attacker in this precise form, I wanted to ask you how did you fill in the blanks of the text since the descriptions of the actions are quite clear for the student's side, but not so much for the attacker's one (especially, how should s/he reacts to the student's own counters, softly or hardly?). Do you ''simply'' use appropriate defenses described earlier in the source, linking them with the sequence of attacks of the form? I think I've seen some sudden retreats during certain phases and I linked them with the lack of precision regarding the attacker's footwork and general behavior (but I may be wrong obviously). I know I'm used to clear instructions for both parties in the paired forms I practice, so that this one was a bit puzzling, on paper at least. But then I'm also used to learn the attacker's side of the forms only much later after having learned and practiced the student's part so... Anyway, thank you for the videos and texts about Bolognese fencing, it's quite a fascinating style!
